Bull Shark Attack

Bull Shark

Jessie Arbogast
Like many kids on a summers day Jessie Arbogast was having fun with his family on Pensacola beach, Florida. But soon his fun would be come a nightmare, while playing in the sea little more than 15ft from shore, Jessie was attacked by a bull shark.

The shark took an exploratory bite of his arm and a chunk of his thigh, screams of "He's got me!" followed by "Get him off! Get him off me!" could be heard and alerting family and friends of the danger at hand.

Jessie's uncle Vance Flosenzier turned toward the screaming children and saw blood colouring the ocean. He and another man sprinted into the surf and found the 7.4-ft., 200-lb. shark about to roll away, its jaw on Jessie's arm. Vance, who trains for triathlons, grabbed the shark by its sandpapery tail and tried to pull, but it would not budge. He yanked again, and Jessie fell away, his arm ripping, as the shark clamped down. Aware that two girls were still farther out in the water, Vance walked backward, pulling the shark along the sandy bottom of the shallow sea toward shore.

anyway, the first attack was in water deeper than her neck.
